I am _very_ keen on this. My current Edinburgh plans are a bit up in the
air, while I wait for my visa (if it doesn't turn up by Friday, I can't
make it).

this nicely into PA is also something that's very interesting to me.

If things do work out w.r.t. my travel, I'd definitely like to discuss
how we might go about doing these things in PA. If not, I hope there'll
be notes. :)
